"Jest to see for myself if amt cooked done

A roar of laughter went up, in which even
DR.. Dcnslow, who had just entered the ward,
joined. He ordered the blister to be taken
off and the innamed urfaces properly dressed,

The column had stopped, and the captain
commanding the advance was listening pa
tiently to what he supposed was the address
of an enthusiastic but eccentric old Kentuck-
ian, when one of the sharp-eyed ones in the
company shouted out:

Bolton"
The yell of laughter and applause at the
ludicrous masquerade shook the hills. The
colonel rode up to see what occasioned it. He
recognized his two men, and his face darkened

Miss Van Zandt's Paralysis.

The particular form of paralysis with
which she was afflicted and from which she
is now only just recovering, is, l am told,
by no means uncommon in Russia, being of
a nervous type and caused by the extreme
cold. In fact, among her fellow patients at
Wildbad last summer was young Russian
lady who was afflicted in the same manner,
but whose malady yielded readily to treat
ment, and before the season was over she was
dancing at the balls of the Casino. The
absence of shoes in the "Mignon" costume
worn by Miss Van Zandt is the cause to
which she attributes all her illness. The last
night that she played the part in Moscow
she was conscious of rush of intensely cold
air, like stream of half frozen water, pass
ing over her feet, the upper part of which
was only protected by flesh colored silk
stockings. The next morning, when she
attempted to rise from her bed, she fell pros
trate, that moment being the commencement
of her long and trying sickness. Cor

Will They be Read Out2


Editor LIGHT:
MIR. Mills recommends the exclusion OF
prohibition democrats from the demo-
cratic fold, and it is pretty certain this
policy will be vigorously pursued. What
will be the result? Coke will be dis
missed and Mills will be drafted into his
place. That IL foregone conclusion.
Smsrtly over half the prohibition votes
were cast by democrats say 65,0O0-
and these are to be accommodated,
the democracy Of Texas will lose 60, OC0
votes Eat one fell swoop" That will
make huge rent in its garment. Now,
should these communicated demo-
Gratis form an independent party and re-
ceive the aid OF the republicans on all
state issues other than prohibition, they
will in all probability carry the state
and put an end to the autocracy OF the
secession element Of the democracy.
This would Itself be a public blessing of
the greatest magnitude and would be
the beginning OF a new era In Texas. Ii
would put better men into public office
and revive respect for the purity OF the
ballot box. This split in the democracy
lie Inevitable, but It will bear good fruit.

a HORRIBLE TALE OF SUFFERING.
The Schooner Sara Capslzed -

iScociS
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, August ga
Nogales special to the Democrat says
The sloop Sara, eighteen ton register,
owned and commanded by Abraham
Bsjarim, left Mimic July %, with twenty
tons OF tan bark. The vessel had on
board the captain, his wife, her children,
niece, Superintendent Halle OF the Bal
timore copper mines, at Santa Rosalie,
and crew of five men. While between
San Pedro and Martinez, in the Gulf
California the vessel WAS struck by
heavy surf and capsized. All on board
persisted excepting the captain and four
sailors, who saved themselves by climb
Ing to the bottom OF the capsized vessel.
On the second day after the accident the
dead bodies OF the captains wife and
children rose to the surface and were
eaten by sharks, while the husband
and father looked on the awful
sight In horror. July Both two
Of the sailors became crazy and
said they were going ashore and
Immediately plunged over board. They
had no sooner struck water than sharks
devoured them. The captain one sailor
and small boy remained on the bottom
OF the vessel for eight days sustaining
life by catching turtles that would come
near them and sucking the blood. They
were rescued In q most pitiable condi-
ton by the fishing sloOp Refuge and
afterward transferred to the company's
steamer, Kerrigan, which was sent
In search Of the Sara and
arrived at Avsmiz last night.
The captain Of the Sara is mentally
and physically wreck. He says there
was another small sloop, name I'M
known, near his vessel In the same gale
and 1t Is supposed she went down with
all on board. MIR. Halle was man who
stood high in the community and his loss
is sadly regretted. His age was "a years
and he leaves n wife and four children
